Closet doot latches

[Ron Thompson]

Wayne, This is great information. I am so happy you posted the question about the latches. The bathroom closet is the one I am concerned about. It is very loose already and probably needs to be changed now. In my 1995 WLWB 42' the latches are not push button. They are the rotary type requiring about an half turn or more to lock or unlock. Again thanks so much for this information.

Go to http://www.austinhardware.com and on left side of home page pick southco products, then pick panel door latchs and catchs, then pick push to close latchs, then look at the picture and choose the one that looks correct, then pick product list on right side of page. They have many types of these latchs, the 3 that fit my coach are the C3-810, C3-805, or the C3-803. The back of the female side of your latch will have a part # and a spring rating on it, my coach on large cabinet doors has a spring rating of 44N (approx. 10 lb) this would be the C3-810. On my smaller doors and drawers my catchs have a spring rating of 22N (approx.5 lb), this is a C3-805, or a spring rating of 13N (approx. 3 lb), this is a C3-803. Austin Hardware gives great price breaks for buying 10 or more of any item, you can buy the catch (female side) and the keeper (male side) as a set and if you order 10 sets it's only $3.72 a set. If you only need the keeper (the male side) they are $3.48 each but if you buy 10 or more the keepers are only .70 cents a piece. You can also call get more info and order by phone if you would like and they are very helpful.
